Ephemeral Decay

Capturing beauty's impermanence, this micro-poem collection reflects on life's inevitable entropy. Sparse verse etches portraits of decay - an aging photograph, a crumbling gallery, rainbows in oil. Like artifacts salvaged from the ravages of time, each poem encapsulates a moment of erosion - love fading to illusion, birdsong dissolving into silence. The poems mirror our paradoxical chase for aesthetic immortality, how we fixate on frozen images while never pausing to embrace each fleeting now. Crystalline in their brevity, the verses invite us to appreciate the poignant spectrum that dwells in decay. Let these tiny poems attune your eye to the tenderness within life's subtle yet certain dissipation.
